For anyone getting excited about this proposed London Grand Prix thing, I have two arguments to nip this monstrous idea in the bud right now.
1) It's Fucking Formula One.
If you really need the second one it is this:
2) Why is London trying to be like the Isle of Man? (Yes, this is the model, not Monte Carlo.) They closed the roads off there all the time for fucking races and it's for shit. I had to have my A-level exams in the infant school, sat at a tiny desk on a tiny chair with my chin between my knees, because it would have been too noisy in the sports hall. AND it took about an hour to get there because the route was impossibly convoluted thanks to road closures. All because some "petrol heads"* like watching some motorbikes.
* NB The only thing worse than a "petrol head" is the phrase, "petrol head".
